Word to the Wise: Durance

"Durance" (DUR-unts) – from the Latin for "to endure" – is imprisonment or restraint by force. It is usually used in the phrase "durance vile."

Example (as used in the Jerusalem Post): "As any ex-con emerging from durance vile eventually realizes, things haven’t remained the same on the outside while he was doing time."
